Quote:  "We are already becoming dependent on these enhancement."
 
 
 
 Response: That quote really hit when I read across it in the book. The statement has a lot of trueth behide it but yet I want to disagree with it. I think that we all can clear see that we have become highly dependent on new technology to correct us but yet we don't see as being dependent. I know that I would lost with out my computer, or cell phone even if it just for a few hours. I wouldsay that this is touch subject for any one because we don't want to admit what  has happen or do we realize it!
